AudioRealism has announced that it will be bringing ABL2 – a virtual Roland TB-303 – to Propellerhead Reason as a Rack Extension:

We are happy to announce our first Rack Extension for the upcoming Reason 6.5 release: ABL2 for Reason! Featuring the same 303-engine that ABL2 has. It does not contain a built-in sequencer, but works great with Reason’s Matrix Pattern Sequencer!

Disclaimer: This is a preview only, things may change for the final release.

It’s a monophonic monster, armed to the teeth with jaw dropping effects and wobblier than a jelly on a space hopper. CYCLOP is the scratch-looping, sample-mashing, sub-generating, harmonic-splicing mothership of the twisted bass alliance and it’s landing on your desktop soon. With masses of new sounds for you audio-junkies, from screaming analog syncs through brutal FM sounds to scintillating spectral shimmers. The integrated sampler also works as wavetable synth and pitch transformer for creating unbelievable and disturbing monster voices. CYCLOP is more than massively loaded with features: 10 incredible filters, unique wobble generator, feedback processor, 3 overdrives and an effects sequencer. CYCLOP is expected to be released in spring 2012.

http://www.mcrow.net/Bass%20Lab.htm All synth sounds created with Bass Lab! Bass Lab is a bass synthesizer by Musicrow that produces ultra-modern fat and punchy electronic basses. Bass Lab is available as part of the Golden Ensembles 3 bundle for NI Reaktor.

☐ Sample Pads
Select a sample for each pad and customise its volume, pitch, and loop duration. Layer up to 12 looping or touch triggered pads at once.

☐ Wobble Synth
Choose from 3 different wobble bass synth types. Select the central octave with the octave + or – buttons, and pitch shift up to three notes at once in real time with the pitch shift wheel. Use the LFO buttons to change the wobble speed and make intuitive wobble bass riffs!
☐ ADSR
Use the rotating potometers to alter the attack, decay, release and sustain of your wobble synth to get the perfect sound to fit your creation.

This is the ultimate compact dubstep keyboard and sampler. So what are you waiting for, start making some wobbles!

Asher Fulero, aka Halo Refuser, demonstrates some of the sweet realtime performance capabilities of the Moog Minitaur bass synthesizer. Enjoy the demo, then learn more about the Moog Minitaur bass synth right here: http://bit.ly/sw_Minitaur

Minitaur is capable of generating subsonic sound waves which move air in a manner that can not only be seen, but felt. Here, one of our brave “scientists” runs Minitaur through a sub woofer to demonstrate this phenomenon.

“…any sound, soft or loud, sweet or nasty, creates a multidimensional
envelope that does more than intrude – it takes over not only your acoustic space,
but your mind space as well. There is no escaping sound.
It meets your body and forcibly enters your mind, not
just through your ears but also via your bones…”

The KOMA offers the possibility to mix four different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise). The unit’s 24 dB lowpass filter is also inspired by classical filters from the ’80s, and to this particular sound of the era, Eowave added a touch of modernity with new controls and parameters. The KOMA boasts a 16-step sequencer with four rows: one row for the notes and three that are freely assignable to a parameter of your choice.

The price of the KOMA, as listed on eowave.com, is 599 EUR (approximately $762).

Here are the KOMA specs:

Oscillator Section

Main Oscillator:

Main VCO with 2 waveforms (square and saw), plus Sub (square) and Noise

The pulsewidth of the square waveform can be modulated by ENV2 or by the LFO

The main oscillator can be transposed up to 3 octaves

The main oscillator frequency can be modulated by the LFO or by ENV3

Glide

Mix of the 4 waveforms

Sub:

Sub (sub can be 1 or 2 octaves below the master freq)

DESYNC mode enables you to desynchronize and detune the Sub from the main oscillator

In DESYNC mode, the Sub can be at the same frequency than the main oscillator or 1 octave below

This year, Eowave is attending the NAMM 2012 and will announce the release of the KOMA! 2011 has been full of new releases with the Ribbon, a monosynth/USB/audio controller and the release of the little analogue synth DOMINO in November. We’ll show the KOMA [no relation to KOMA Electronik], an analog bassline synth with memory and a 16 step sequencer that will be ready to ship very very soon!

, a step back into the 80s with a touch of 2012…

KOMA is an analog sequenced bass synthesizer inspired by classic synths from the 1980s with a synthesis section with 256 sound presets and 256 patterns and a step sequencer section.

The synthesis section offers the possibility to mix 4 different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise) for infinite modulations. The SUB DESYNC mode enables to desynchronize and to detune the SUB and the main oscillator for complex sounds. The filter is a 24 dB resonant low-pass filter. The LFO has 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down) and can modulate the VCO, VCF or PWM.
To this particular analog sound of the 80s, we added a touch of modernity with controls and parameters to save compositions and performances. The 16 step sequencer has 4 sections: 1 for the notes and 3 freely assignable to a parameter of your choice to create living sequences with sonorities like Vince Clark or Jan Hammer.

With 256 sound presets and 256 patterns locations, the KOMA is a versatile instrument for live performance as well as a powerful composition and sound design tool. Its very intuitive control panel allows the user to edit all parameters in real-time.
